Now that my tank has matured a bit, I thought I'd post some new pics. I apologize for some of the quality of the pics, there's a bit of algae on the glass that threw off some of the pics. The tank is roughly 9 months old or so (time has flown by). It's not very large (45-50 gallons) but it's all I can do for now.
thanks for looking,
jim

Thanks for the quick replies. I honestly couldn't remember the name of that fish, so foxface may not be correct. I thought that's what they called it but I could be wrong.
I don't have any full tank pics yet, I'll have to get some later. The lighting in the room was tough for getting full tank shots.
I'm glad the condi (I mistakenly called it an LTA) is coming back. It got caught up in the sponge mesh of the powerhead and lost a lot of it's tantacles. Not sure why it suddenly let go of the rock it was on. It was stationary for months and then let go and went into the powerhead.

I'll definitely get teh Sun pic once it opens up. It's a bit finicky and opens only periodically. Thanks for letting me know what the cowfish was....I cannot believe I couldn't remember the name.
The camera I have is an Olympus E-500. I was playing around with a new telephoto lens and wanted to see how it worked on the tank. I had to stand quite a bit back from the tank (5ft or so) in order to be able to focus. That played havoc with the lighting and flash. Normally I would use a 50mm macro lens I have, but like I said, new lens, new toy to play with.

Okay, I finally got a pic of the Sun Polyp opening up and a full-tank shot. Comments are appreciated.

I'm still new to this feeding strategy but right now I use frozen cubes from my local LFS (varying types). I also feed cyclopees (sp?) periodically. I've been really trying to limit the amount I feed as I used to overfeed my freshwater tank and had all sorts of problems. I feed once per day (one cube per feeding) and sometimes I add one more cube. The food is usually gone within a few minutes.

Ok, but how are you getting the food to the coral. Are you using a sea squirt or at least the cup method? I have a group og dndrophyllia that I have to feed. I put a cup over it and target feed them with my sea squirt. I also add cyclopeeze every other day but I don't think they get much of that. I think they like meaty foods but if their tentacles are extended, I think they will eat whatever they catch.
